Informationen zum Autor Sonia M. Tascón has been a practitioner and researcher in fields related to human rights for a considerable time. Her earlier work was as coordinator of a Refugee Action Group for Amnesty International. She has published a significant number of articles and book chapters in the area of refugee rights, some of which have been used to lend support as evidence in social policy reports. Her more recent work on human rights films has appeared in various human rights forums, lending weight to the need for this kind of work.
